Raised by two attentive parents in Washington, D.C., he’s a top student and a track star at his prestigious private high school. Bound for Harvard in the fall, his prospects are bright. But Niru has a painful secret: he is queer—an abominable sin to his conservative Nigerian parents. No one knows except Meredith, his best friend, the daughter of prominent Washington insiders—and the one person who seems not to judge him. When his father accidentally discovers Niru is gay, the fallout is brutal and swift. Coping with troubles of her own, however, Meredith finds that she has little left emotionally to offer him. As the two friends struggle to reconcile their desires against the expectations and institutions that seek to define them, they find themselves speeding toward a future more violent and senseless than they can imagine. Neither will escape unscathed. In the tradition of Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah, Speak No Evil explores what it means to be different in a fundamentally conformist society and how that difference plays out in our inner and outer struggles. It is a novel about the power of words and self -identification, about who gets to speak and who has the power to speak for other people. As heart-wrenching and timely as his breakout debut, Beasts of No Nation, Uzodinma Iweala’s new novel cuts to the core of our humanity and leaves us reeling in its wake. 538 Requires OverDrive app (file size: 38 KB). 650 0 Sexual orientation|vFiction.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Gay teenagers|vFiction.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Nigerian Americans|vFiction.|vSound recordings. 651 0 Washington (D.C)|vFiction. 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 700 1 Onayemi, Prentice,|enarrator. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3302036 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0293-1/ %7BD5A74E75-B6F2-46A4-8828-D478829287D1%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0293-1/ %7BD5A74E75-B6F2-46A4-8828-D478829287D1%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
